Definitions
- the invention relates to methods for controlling heat exchangers for setting a controlled variable on the process side of the heat exchanger.
- the invention is in the field of process engineering operations that require a regulated supply of energy. These energy consumers are mostly supplied centrally from a power plant on an industrial scale. The water vapor produced by the power plant is directed to the individual consumers via a so-called steam rail. In the rarest cases, the incoming steam is sent directly to the process by the consumer. An intermediate heat exchanger (heat exchanger) predominantly transfers only the heat contained in the water vapor to the process. The control of the amount of energy transferred forms the subject of the present invention.
- the task was therefore to develop a regulation for better control of the amount of heat entered in a process.
- the measurement of the variables pressure (p), temperature (T) and the determination of the mass flow ( ⁇ ) are carried out by known methods and devices. It should be noted, however, that the usual methods for determining the mass flow (throttle, inductive flow measurement) only determine a volume flow, which can only be converted into a mass flow after multiplication by the density ( ⁇ ) of the working medium. This conversion can lead to inaccuracies if it is not taken into account that ⁇ depends on T and p.
- the enthalpy flow into the heat exchanger is obtained by multiplying the mass flow ( ⁇ ) by the specific enthalpy (h i ) of the working medium, which can be calculated in a known manner if the two state variables p and T are known.
- the working medium is For example, water vapor, but exactly at a phase boundary, using one of the known thermodynamic relationships, the determination of one of the two variables, pressure or temperature, is sufficient to obtain the other state variables, including the spec. Enthalpy. This is the case, for example, if water vapor in the saturated state is used as the working medium.
- enthalpy current ( ⁇ ) is known, this can be used as a manipulated variable.
- the actual controlled variable for example the temperature in a process engineering process, can be changed by a certain amount if the enthalpy flow into the heat exchanger is increased or decreased by an amount corresponding to this change. In the simplest case, this is done by a supply control (FC), in which the mass flow into the heat exchanger is controlled with the aid of a valve.
- FC supply control
- the new method enables precise, direct control of the amount of energy fed into a process.
- the new control procedure takes into account the interference to which the working medium in the feed line (steam rail) is subjected. This prevents these interferences from the actual process (distillation etc.). This has the advantage that this process can be controlled within narrow and more precisely definable tolerances. In addition, the amount of heat produced is used more economically.
- the process can be used with advantage in technical distillation or rectification columns with diameters over 0.150 m, preferably over 0.5 m, in particular over 1.0 m. Due to their inertia, these technical columns require particularly precise control.
- a preferred control variable on the process side is the temperature, since this is the most important process variable in the systems mentioned. However, other variables such as the sump level can also be controlled with the new process.
- a preferred embodiment of the new method consists in taking into account the enthalpy flow leaving the heat exchanger again. This can be achieved by subtracting the specific enthalpy (h o ) from the specific enthalpy of the supplied working medium (h i ) and multiplying this difference by the mass flow ( ⁇ ). It is assumed that there are no mass losses in the heat exchanger. If condensate is present, it is sufficient to only measure the temperature of the condensate to determine h o .
- the enthalpy transferred ie the amount of heat introduced into the process, can be used as a product k ⁇ A ⁇ ⁇ T being represented.
- ⁇ T is the temperature difference between the temperature of the working medium and the temperature of the heat-fed process, for example the temperature in the bottom of a still.
- A is a measure of the area through which the heat transfer takes place, and k is the heat transfer coefficient.
- a deterioration also called fouling
- By monitoring the heat transfer behavior e.g. a deterioration, also called fouling, can be controlled, for example, by switching to cleaned heat exchangers or switching off for cleaning.
- the setting of a certain temperature requires regulation of the supply quantity FC by means of a valve 2 as a function of the measured mass flow through the steam line 1.
- the mass flow is measured by measuring the pressure difference ⁇ p at the orifice 5, which sits in the steam line 1, made.
- the amount of steam thus regulated enters the heat exchanger 3 and causes the desired temperature change in the process.
- the new method instead of translating the temperature control variable into the supply quantity control variable, the translation into the enthalpy flow control variable EC (enthalpy control).
- a deviation from the setpoint causes the enthalpy control EC to track the valve 2.
- the EC obtains the required measured values by measuring the pressure P i and the temperature T i in the steam feed 1.
- the specific enthalpy h i and the density ⁇ can be determined from these measured variables determined by known electronic components (multipliers, etc.) or programmable microprocessors.
- the mass flow is determined in the known manner with the aid of an orifice 5.
- the pressure drop ⁇ p is measured over the orifice.
- the volume flow is first determined from this measured value on the basis of the known aperture equation.
- the mass flow ⁇ is then determined using the state variable ⁇ , the density of the working medium, determined from the quantities P i and T i .
- the enthalpy transferred in the heat exchanger 3 results from the formation of the product of the mass flow ⁇ and the difference between the specific enthalpies h i , h o .
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft Verfahren zur Steuerung von Wärmeübertragern zur Einstellung einer Regelgröße auf der Prozeßseite des Wärmeübertragers.The invention relates to methods for controlling heat exchangers for setting a controlled variable on the process side of the heat exchanger.
Die Erfindung liegt auf dem Gebiet verfahrenstechnischer Operationen, die einer geregelten Energiezufuhr bedürfen. Die Versorgung dieser Energieverbraucher erfolgt im großtechnischen Maßstab zumeist zentral von einem Kraftwerk aus. Der vom Kraftwerk produzierte Wasserdampf wird über eine sogenannte Dampfschiene zu den einzelnen Verbrauchern geleitet. Beim Verbraucher wird der ankommende Dampf in den seltensten Fällen direkt dem Prozeß zugeleitet. Überwiegend wird durch einen zwischengeschalteten Wärmeübertrager (Wärmetauscher) lediglich die im Wasserdampf enthaltene Wärme an den Prozeß übertragen. Die Steuerung der übertragenen Energiemenge bildet den Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung.The invention is in the field of process engineering operations that require a regulated supply of energy. These energy consumers are mostly supplied centrally from a power plant on an industrial scale. The water vapor produced by the power plant is directed to the individual consumers via a so-called steam rail. In the rarest cases, the incoming steam is sent directly to the process by the consumer. An intermediate heat exchanger (heat exchanger) predominantly transfers only the heat contained in the water vapor to the process. The control of the amount of energy transferred forms the subject of the present invention.
Das im großtechnischen Maßstab gebräuchliche Verfahren läßt sich anhand von Figur 1 beschreiben. Um beispielsweise die Temperatur in einem Prozeß zu regeln (TC), wird die eigentliche Stellgröße, die übertragene Energie, in eine Ersatzstellgröße, nämlich die in den Wärmetauscher 3 geleitete Dampfmenge übersetzt. In der Zeichnung ist dies durch die Steuerungseinheit FC (feed control) dargestellt. Sie steuert das Ventil 2. Als Kontrollwert dient der Zufuhrkontrolle zumeist der Druckabfall des Dampfes über eine Meßblende 5 innerhalb der Zuleitung. Unter idealen Bedingungen, d.h. bei konstantem Druck und konstanter Temperatur, ist der Volumenstrom und damit auch der Massenstrom durch die Meßblende der Wurzel des Druckabfalles an der Meßblende proportional (Blendengleichung).The process used on an industrial scale can be described with reference to FIG. 1. For example, in order to regulate the temperature in a process (TC), the actual manipulated variable, the energy transferred, is translated into a substitute manipulated variable, namely the amount of steam conducted into the
Der Nachteil dieses bekannten Verfahrens besteht jedoch darin, daß sich die Bedingungen (Druck, Temperatur) innerhalb einer Dampfschiene, die vom Kraftwerk aus mehrere Verbraucher speist, durchaus ändern können. Beispielsweise werden bereits durch das Zu- und Abschalten von Verbrauchern entlang einer Dampfschiene Störungen erzeugt.The disadvantage of this known method, however, is that the conditions (pressure, temperature) within a steam rail, which feeds several consumers from the power plant, can change. For example, disturbances are already generated by switching consumers on and off along a steam rail.
Es bestand daher die Aufgabe, eine Regelung zur besseren Kontrolle der in einen Prozeß eingetragenen Wärmemenge zu entwickeln.The task was therefore to develop a regulation for better control of the amount of heat entered in a process.
Die Aufgabe wurde durch ein Verfahren unter Durchführung folgender Schritte gelöst;
- a) Messung des Massenstromes (ṁ) und mindestens einer der Größen Druck (p) und Temperatur (T) des Betriebsmittels in der Zufuhrleitung (1) zum Wärmeübertrager (3);
- b) Bestimmung des Enthalpiestromes in den Wärmeübertrager (3) unter Verwendung der in a) gemessenen Größen;
- c) Verwendung des durch b) bestimmten Enthalpiestromes in den Wärmeübertrager (3) als Stellgröße für die Regelgröße auf der Prozeßseite, wobei der Wärmeübertrager (3) durch Veränderung des in ihn fließenden Enthalpiestromes nach Maßgabe der Regelgröße gesteuert wird.
- a) measurement of the mass flow (ṁ) and at least one of the variables pressure (p) and temperature (T) of the operating medium in the supply line (1) to the heat exchanger (3);
- b) determination of the enthalpy flow into the heat exchanger (3) using the quantities measured in a);
- c) Use of the enthalpy flow determined by b) in the heat exchanger (3) as a manipulated variable for the controlled variable on the process side, the heat exchanger (3) being controlled by changing the enthalpy flow flowing into it in accordance with the controlled variable.
Die Messung der Größen Druck (p), Temperatur (T) und die Bestimmung des Massenstromes (ṁ) werden durch bekannte Verfahren und Vorrichtungen durchgeführt. Dabei ist allerdings zu beachten, daß die üblichen Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Massenstromes (Drossel, induktive Durchflussmessung) lediglich einen Volumenstrom bestimmen, der sich erst nach Multiplikation mit der Dichte (δ) des Arbeitsmediums in einen Massenstrom umrechnen läßt. Bei dieser Umrechnung können Ungenauigkeiten auftreten, wenn nicht berücksichtigt wird, daß δ von T und p abhängt. Der Enthalpiestrom in den Wärmeübertrager ergibt sich durch Multiplikation des Massenstromes (ṁ) mit der spezifischen Enthalpie (hi) des Arbeitsmediums, die sich bei Kenntnis der beiden Zustandsgrößen p und T auf bekannte Weise errechnen läßt. Befindet sich das Arbeitsmedium, beispielsweise Wasserdampf, jedoch exakt an einer Phasengrenze, so reicht unter Ausnutzung der bekannten thermodynamischen Zusammenhänge die Bestimmung einer der beiden Größen, Druck oder Temperatur, zur Gewinnung der übrigen Zustandsgrößen, also auch der spez. Enthalpie. Dies ist beispielsweise der Fall, wenn als Arbeitsmedium Wasserdampf im gesättigten Zustand verwendet wird.The measurement of the variables pressure (p), temperature (T) and the determination of the mass flow (ṁ) are carried out by known methods and devices. It should be noted, however, that the usual methods for determining the mass flow (throttle, inductive flow measurement) only determine a volume flow, which can only be converted into a mass flow after multiplication by the density (δ) of the working medium. This conversion can lead to inaccuracies if it is not taken into account that δ depends on T and p. The enthalpy flow into the heat exchanger is obtained by multiplying the mass flow (ṁ) by the specific enthalpy (h i ) of the working medium, which can be calculated in a known manner if the two state variables p and T are known. If the working medium is For example, water vapor, but exactly at a phase boundary, using one of the known thermodynamic relationships, the determination of one of the two variables, pressure or temperature, is sufficient to obtain the other state variables, including the spec. Enthalpy. This is the case, for example, if water vapor in the saturated state is used as the working medium.
Bei Kenntnis des Enthalpiestromes (Ė) läßt sich dieser als Stellgröße verwenden. Die eigentliche Regelgröße beispielsweise die Temperatur in einem verfahrenstechnischen Prozeß, läßt sich um einen bestimmten Betrag ändern, wenn der Enthalpiestrom in den Wärmeübertrager um einen dieser Änderung entsprechenden Betrag vergrößert beziehungsweise verkleinert wird. Im einfachsten Fall geschieht dies durch eine Zufuhrkontrolle (FC), bei der mit Hilfe eines Ventils der Massenstrom in den Wärmeübertrager gesteuert wird.If the enthalpy current (Ė) is known, this can be used as a manipulated variable. The actual controlled variable, for example the temperature in a process engineering process, can be changed by a certain amount if the enthalpy flow into the heat exchanger is increased or decreased by an amount corresponding to this change. In the simplest case, this is done by a supply control (FC), in which the mass flow into the heat exchanger is controlled with the aid of a valve.
Durch das neue Verfahren wird eine genaue, direkte Regelung der in einen Prozeß eingespeisten Energiemenge ermöglicht. Das neue Regelungsverfahren berücksichtigt Störeinflüsse, denen das Arbeitsmedium in der Speiseleitung (Dampfschiene) unterworfen ist. Damit werden diese Störeinflüsse vom eigentlichen Prozeß (Destillation etc.) ferngehalten. Dadurch wird der Vorteil erzielt, daß sich dieser Prozeß innerhalb enger und genauer definierbaren Toleranzen steuern läßt. Zudem erfolgt eine wirtschaftlichere Ausnutzung produzierter Wärmemengen.The new method enables precise, direct control of the amount of energy fed into a process. The new control procedure takes into account the interference to which the working medium in the feed line (steam rail) is subjected. This prevents these interferences from the actual process (distillation etc.). This has the advantage that this process can be controlled within narrow and more precisely definable tolerances. In addition, the amount of heat produced is used more economically.
Das Verfahren ist mit Vorteil bei technischen Destillations- bzw. Rektifikationskolonnen mit Durchmessern über 0,150 m, bevorzugt über 0,5 m, insbesondere über 1,0 m, einzusetzen. Diese technischen Kolonnen fordern aufgrund ihrer Trägheit eine besonders genaue Steuerung.The process can be used with advantage in technical distillation or rectification columns with diameters over 0.150 m, preferably over 0.5 m, in particular over 1.0 m. Due to their inertia, these technical columns require particularly precise control.
Eine bevorzugte Regelgröße auf der Prozeßseite ist die Temperatur, da diese die wichtigste Prozeßgröße in den genannten Anlagen darstellt. Aber auch andere Größen wie beispielsweise der Sumpfstand, können mit dem neuen Verfahren geregelt werden.A preferred control variable on the process side is the temperature, since this is the most important process variable in the systems mentioned. However, other variables such as the sump level can also be controlled with the new process.
Eine bevorzugte Durchführungsform des neuen Verfahrens besteht in der Berücksichtigung des den Wärmeübertrager wieder verlassenden Enthalpiestromes. Dies ist zu erreichen, indem man die spezifische Enthalpie (ho) von der spezifischen Enthalpie des zugeleiteten Arbeitsmediums (hi) abzieht und diese Differenz mit dem Massenstrom (ṁ) multipliziert. Dabei wird vorausgesetzt, daß keine Massenverluste im Wärmeübertrager auftauchen. Bei Vorliegen von Kondensat ist es ausreichend, zur Bestimmung von ho, lediglich die Temperatur des Kondensats zu messen.A preferred embodiment of the new method consists in taking into account the enthalpy flow leaving the heat exchanger again. This can be achieved by subtracting the specific enthalpy (h o ) from the specific enthalpy of the supplied working medium (h i ) and multiplying this difference by the mass flow (ṁ). It is assumed that there are no mass losses in the heat exchanger. If condensate is present, it is sufficient to only measure the temperature of the condensate to determine h o .
Eine weitere bevorzugte Variante des Verfahrens berücksichtigt zudem das zeitliche oder dynamische Verhalten des Wärmeübertragungsprozesses. Das dynamische Verhalten wird durch Ermittlung der Übertragungsfunktion bestimmt. Dazu kann z.B. der Eingangstemperatur des Arbeitsmediums ein definierter zeitlicher Verlauf, etwa eine Sprungfunktion oder eine periodische Funktion oder eine Kombination von beiden, aufgeprägt werden und das Verhalten des Wärmetauschers durch die Messung des zeitlichen Verlaufes der Temperatur To des Arbeitsmediums am Ausgang des Wärmetauschers bestimmt werden. Dieses Verhalten hängt u.a. vom Durchsatz und der Verweilzeitcharakteristik des Massestromes im Wärmetauscher sowie der Wärmekapazität des Wärmetauschers ab.

Durchführungsform den Vorteil, präziser auf rasche Zuflußstörungen des Arbeitsmediums reagieren zu können.Despite more complex control electronics, it has.

Die genaue Kenntnis des übertragenen Enthalpiestromes im Wärmetauscher wird in einer bevorzugten Variante des Verfahrens ausgenutzt, um ein Kontrollsystem zur Überwachung des Wärmeübertragungsverhaltens der Anlage zu erhalten.The exact knowledge of the enthalpy flow transferred in the heat exchanger is used in a preferred variant of the method in order to obtain a control system for monitoring the heat transfer behavior of the system.

Wie bereits beschrieben, erfordert nach den bekannten Verfahren die Einstellung einer bestimmten Temperatur eine Regelung der Zufuhrmenge FC mittels eines Ventiles 2 in Abhängigkeit von dem gemessenen Massenstrom durch die Dampfleitung 1. Im beschriebenen Fall wird der Massenstrom durch Messung der Druckdifferenz Δp an der Blende 5, die in der Dampfleitung 1 sitzt, vorgenommen. Die somit geregelte Dampfmenge gelangt in den Wärmeübertrager 3 und verursacht im Prozeß die gewünschte Temperaturänderung.As already described, according to the known methods, the setting of a certain temperature requires regulation of the supply quantity FC by means of a
Nach dem neuen Verfahren (hier der Durchführungsform, ohne Berücksichtigung des dynamischen Verhaltens des Wärmeübertragers, aber mit Berücksichtigung des durch das Kondensat abgeführten Enthalpiestromes) tritt anstelle der Übersetzung der Regelgröße Temperatur in die Stellgröße Zufuhrmenge die Übersetzung in die Stellgröße Enthalpiestrom EC (enthalpy control). Eine Abweichung vom Sollwert veranlaßt die Enthalpiesteuerung EC zur Nachführung des Ventiles 2. Die EC erhält die erforderlichen Meßwerte durch Messung des Druckes Pi und der Temperatur Ti in der Dampfzuführung 1. Aus diesen Meßgrößen lassen sich die spezifische Enthalpie hi und die Dichte δ durch bekannte elektronische Bauteile (Multiplizierer etc.) oder programmierbare Mikroprozessoren bestimmen. Einen Weg dazu bieten dem Fachmann bekannte Berechnungsblätter (z.B. VDI-Wärmeatlas, 6. Auflage, 1991, DB 1 bis DB 15), wobei die tabellierten Werte als Stützstellen zur Interpolation dazwischen liegender Werte benutzt werden. Die Bestimmung des Massenstromes geschieht auf die bekannte Weise mit Hilfe einer Blende 5. Über der Blende wird der Druckabfall Δp gemessen. Aus diesem Meßwert bestimmt man unter Zugrundelegung der bekannten Blendengleichung zunächst den Volumenstrom. Unter Verwendung der aus den Größen Pi und Ti bestimmten Zustandsgröße δ, der Dichte des Arbeitsmediums, wird dann der Massenstrom ṁ bestimmt. Zur Bestimmung des den Wärmeübertrager 3 verlassenden Enthalpiestromes reicht die Messung der Temperatur To des Kondensats. Die im Wärmetauscher 3 übertragene Enthalpie ergibt sich durch Bildung des Produktes aus Massenstrom ṁ und der Differenz der spezifischen Enthalpien hi, ho.According to the new method (here the implementation, without taking into account the dynamic behavior of the heat exchanger, but taking into account the enthalpy flow discharged through the condensate), instead of translating the temperature control variable into the supply quantity control variable, the translation into the enthalpy flow control variable EC (enthalpy control). A deviation from the setpoint causes the enthalpy control EC to track the
